For Those Of You That Love Your Job - Not!!!

Smile in the knowledge that at 10.53am the bank holiday weekend starts in a matter of hours.....:-)


Things you'd love to say sometimes out loud at work!

Have a nice day!!!1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t.2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.3. How about never? Is never good for you?4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.6. Who lit the fuse on your tampon?7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.10. Ahhhh. I see the f*ck-up fairy has visited us again.11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a sh*t.14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.18. Any resemblance between your reality and mine are purely coincidental.19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks?!20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.23. And your cry-baby whiny-arsed opinion would be?24. Do I look like a f*cking people person to you?25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.26. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.28. If I throw a stick, will you leave?29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.30. Whatever kind of look you were aiming for, you missed.31. Oh I get it. Like humour, but different.........32. An office is just a mental institute without the padded walls.33. Can I swap this job for what's behind door .........1?34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.35. Nice perfume (or aftershave). Must you marinate in it?36. Chaos, panic, and disorder. My work here is done.37. How do I set a laser printer to stun?38. I thought I wanted a career; it turns out I just needed the money.39. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being more intelligent.40. Wait a minute - I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.41. Aren't you a black hole of need.42. I'd like to help you out, which way did you come in?43. Did you eat an extra bowl of stupid this morning?44. Why don't you slip into something more comfortable? Like a coma.45. If you have something to say raise your hand.........then place it over your mouth.46. I'm too busy, can I ignore you some other time?47. Don't let your mind wander, its too small to be let out on its own.48. Have a nice day, somewhere else.49. You're not yourself today, I noticed the improvement straight away.50. You are as pretty as a picture, I'd really like to hang you.51. Don't believe everything you think.52. Do you hear that? That's the sound of no-one caring.

Play The X Factor Drinking Game!

Classic stuff from The Holy Moly People ; funny because it's true:-)

When watching the X Factor tomorrow night, play this drinking game. The rules are as follows:
Random family member of one of the contestants shouts out indecipherable encouragement - drink two fingers
One of the judges gets 'panto villain' booing for their comments - drink for duration of the booing
Shot of family member wearing t-shirt with contestant's face cheaply printed on it - one finger
Louis mispronounces 'Saturday' as 'Sarr-day' - finish drink
A contestant says, "It's been an incredible journey" - switch drinks
Any of the judges tells an act, "You made the song your own" - three fingers
Louis says, "I love you, the audience love you, and the public will love you as well" - finish your drink
A performer cries - empty your glass
Louis praises an obviously piss-poor performance by one of his acts - empty your glass
Sharon makes a lecherous remark about any male performer - empty your glass, fill it up and empty it again, crying hot, salty tears.

Oh, drink responsibly!:-)

Love This!

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road whenshe sees a big bad wolf crouched down behind a log. "My, what bigeyes you have, Mr. Wolf." The wolf jumps up and runs away.

Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees thewolf again and this time he is crouched behind a bush. "My what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf."Again the wolf jumps up and runs away.

About two miles down the road Little Red Riding Hoodsees the wolf again and this time he is crouched down behind a rock. "My what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf. "With that the wolf jumps up and screams..."Will you ever f.....k off,I'm trying to have a shite!"

I wanted to help the government, so I told theGardaabout my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from countrytocountry, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because noone figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuablespies for eight years running." "But the jetting around really tiredmeout, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settledown. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.""I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch ofmedals. Igot married, had a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what hewants for the dog."Ten euros," the man says."Ten euros?

A Bit Of A Funny:-)

No clue today, I'm going to test you today so I think Google will be your best friend for todays 'Who Am I'

The other half sent me this earlier this morning....

There's a new Supermarket near our house that has an automatic water mister
to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the
scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air
is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don't buy toilet paper there any more.
